Injury update
For you Maryland football fans, the Terps should know by Friday whether left guard Jaimie Thomas will be healthy enough to play in the Dec. 28 Emerald Bowl against Oregon State. He’s still recovering from a fractured right fibula and is a “long shot,” according to coach Ralph Friedgen.
Cornerback Nolan Carroll pulled his hamstring, making him questionable for the game. And Friedgen doesn’t know if freshman receiver Laquan Williams will play because of a knee injury. Williams can run straight ahead but is having trouble making cuts.Special teams coordinator Ray Rychleski will coach in the bowl before joining Steve Spurrier’s staff at South Carolina. Rychleski also coached the tight ends and H-backs at Maryland. He’ll serve as the Gamecocks’ special teams coordinator.
Oregon State’s defense ranks second in the country against the run, so Terps quarterback Chris Turner will have to bring his A game.
